Complete Question

A factory received a shipment of 10 generators and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 4 generators in the shipment that are defective. Before the receiving foreman accepts the delivery, he samples the shipment, and if too many of the generators in the sample are defective, he will refuse the shipment. Give answer as a decimal to three decimal places.

(A) If a sample of 4 generators is selected, find the probability that all in the sample are defective.

(B) If a sample of 4 generators is selected, find the probability that none in the sample is defective.

Solution

A) This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of generators to be picked = 4

x = Number of successes required = number of defective generators required = 4

p = probability of success = probability that a randomly selected generator is defective = (4/10) = 0.40

q = probability of failure = probability that a randomly selected generator is NOT defective = 1 - p = 1 - 0.40 = 0.60

P(X = 4) = ⁴C₄ (0.40)⁴ (0.6)⁴⁻⁴ = 0.0256 = 0.026 to 3 d.p.

B) n = total number of sample spaces = number of generators to be picked = 4

x = Number of successes required = number of defective generators required = 0

p = probability of success = probability that a randomly selected generator is defective = (4/10) = 0.40

q = probability of failure = probability that a randomly selected generator is NOT defective = 1 - p = 1 - 0.40 = 0.60

P(X = 0) = ⁴C₀ (0.40)⁰ (0.6)⁴⁻⁰ = 0.1296 = 0.130 to 3 d.p.

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the measure of the missing angles.
seropon [69]
Okay with the vertical angles theorem we know that the angles across from each other are congruent so that immediately tells us g=92°.
then the straight line that h and 92° is on =180 so we can use that to solve for h. so 180-92=88. so h =88.
same rules apply to the lower intersection. k=91° and 91+m=180. so m=89°
